3,000 miles is nothing to sneeze at; lots of folks never get anywhere near 3,000 miles in one year. Congrats!

Well according to Bikejournal.com I'm going to finish out the year with a hair over 1000 miles in spite of not having a ridable bicycle at the start of the year. In fact I didn't ride my own bike until October 18th, so more than half my miles were done on borrowed wheels. BTW, Thanks guys. Having something to ride until I could make something ridable kept me just sane enough.

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

Glad we could help, Opus... especially for someone as dependent upon those wheels as you are.

Even more folks never get near 3,000 miles their entire life
